Blood and Tears at DAC: Why Google Thinks Smart Contacts Are Ideal for

monitors blood glucose levels and transmits the data to a smartphone might
just be the ideal solution.

There is a good correlation between your glucose levels in tears and that in
blood (although it's a factor of magnitude lower), so a smart contact lens
can measure glucose levels using a wireless chip and miniaturized glucose
sensor. The devices are embedded between two layers of soft contact lens
material.
